I was woken by a bang
And I could already taste the shame
The sudden fear that grips and shakes you
When you face the truth
Whose sofa was this?
Where were my shoes?
What did we do last night?
I don't remember leaving Nathan's house
Ah yeah, how could I forget
Why my pants were soaking wet?
When we'd been pissing ourselves laughing at the news
Did you see it too?
It was incredible, they played it on a loop
Basically, they'd discovered that there were others just like us
Other beings and other creatures and other planets and other species
Who had other gods that they believed in and they interviewed all of them
Every one of them, it's true, none of them had a single clue
What they were doing here either
It's all so pointless, it is
And I find that humbling, sincerely
And when you're gone
It brings me peace of mind to know
That this will all just carry on
With someone else (someone else)
With something new (something new)
There's no need to be blue
Everything has already happened
Time is an illusion
It's hippy bullshit but it's true
Come with us
Now we're off to meet them, so best impress them
Don't want them thinking we've been sat here
Doing nothing, now do we, Elton?
It's alright, I've had more hits than I've had hot dinners
Is that how we define this life's winners?
The numeric is so imperative
That without them, we'll forget how to simply be
It's hippy bullshit, but it's true
Watch me explode
♪
It's all so pointless, ah, but it's not, though, is it?
It's really real and when you feel it, you can really feel it
Grab somebody that you love
Grab anyone who needs to hear it
And shake 'em by the shoulders, scream in their face
Death is coming for us all, but not today
Today you're living it, hey, you're really feeling it
Give it everything you've got, knowing you can't take this with you
And all you've ever needed to exist that has always been within you
Gimme some of that good stuff, that human spirit
Cut it with a hundred percent endurance
♪
It's all so pointless, it sure is
And when you're gone
It makes me stronger knowing
That all of this will carry on
With someone else (someone else)
With something new (something new)
It's not like there's gonna be nothing, is it?
